Plot & Read Points

In (x, y): walk x steps across first, then climb y steps up

About This Practice

An ordered pair (x, y) works like an address: the first number x tells you how many steps across, and the second number y how many steps up. Tap crossings on the grid and watch the dot walk across, then climb. Take the challenge of finding a point like (3, 2) — and if you miss, the path animation walks it again with you.

Tap crossings on a 0-10 grid to place markers and read each ordered pair (x, y) live, then take the find-the-point challenge with a path animation.

How to Play

  1. Look at the grid: across is the x-axis, up is the y-axis, and every crossing is tappable.
  2. In Explore mode, tap a few crossings and read their ordered pairs (x, y).
  3. Switch to Challenge mode and find the target point the task asks for.
  4. If you miss, watch the path: walk x steps right first, then climb y steps up.
  5. Answer several in a row and watch your score grow!
